We have been starting to introduce 3D printed objects paired with songs to our complex students with CVI to help with choice making for songs. ---

My students love the tactile doodle to create their graphics. They are able to create a graphic which includes the most important features to them. It then helps me to determine parts they might be missing to fully understand the concept so we can discuss those. They also just enjoy experiencing their art!!! ---

We like the quick draw paper. And so do the classroom teachers. ---

I recently rediscovered some APH Science binders (not sure how old they are) with tactile diagrams of cells, human anatomy, etc. Have not used them actively as much, but they seemed to work great. ---

My students also use a variety of tools. Some of the favorites are the Quick Draw Paper, Tactile Doodle, Tactile Graphics Kits and the stickers. ---

My kiddos are still very new with using tactile graphics so they aren’t yet creating their own, but we make things together. Today the class was talking about maps so we used tactile town, Quick Draw paper, and the Wheatley set. We just got a Page Blaster so now we’re creating tactile graphics that way. One complex learner LOVES to make towns using Tactile Town. We use Elmer’s glue to make pictures to go with our braille writing books. ---

Hi Lori! Welcome to the Webinar Discussion. As a TSVI, I used assessment to determine when a student may need instruction in learning tactile graphicacy skills. The Learning Media Assessment is a great place to start to document which literacy medium (or media) is most appropriate for the student to use for accessing and learning. Consideration of the student’s visual diagnosis is also important -especially if the student has a progressive eye disease. Check out the resource documents in all 3 webinars for additional assessment tools. ---

Hi Regina, Welcome to the discussion. I appreciate you sharing a variety of examples about how you support your learners with creating their own graphics using a variety of materials and resources. I especially appreciate that you give your learners who may have additional disabilities the opportunity to also create tactile graphics! ---

Thanks. so, if after using the LMA it is determined that the student is a visual learner AND doesn’t have a progressive diagnosis, would you then use diagrams of a non-tactile nature? ---

Quick Question - Can someone let me know what the spinner we saw in todays webinar is called? The spinner had the alphabet in print and braille. Thank you all so much for your help in this little hunt. ---

I would say tactile graphics can also be visual supports for visual learners by using high-contrast and/or format or making any other adjustments that particular student needs. Unless a student has an aversion to touch, I would still use tactile graphics in addition to diagrams or as the diagrams themselves. ---

I agree. I recently participated in a project that used 3D objects for tactile graphics for participants who were blind and with low vision to teach astronomy lessons. As a sighted person in the project, I benefited immensely and experienced how these objects would benefit visual learners.
